S V D P Tlie aim of the St. Vincent dePaul Society at k° las i s to promote works of charity among the elderly people of Dubuque. The aim of the Society as a w hole is works of charity of all types, but the boias chapter concentrates its apostolate among the elderly. I lie Loras chapter has a regular schedule for visiting St. Anthony’s Home, St. Francis Home, Our Lady of Lourdes Home, the County Nursing Home, and the County Poor Farm. Each member of the Society is expected to visit at least one of these homes once a month. During the past year, the Society was involved in several activities in carrying out its apostolic work. A number of parties were ' held for the men living at the County Poor farm. Candy and cigarette ' s were ' given at the Christmas party. To introduce the spirit of the new liturgy to the residents of the County Nursing home, the group sang hymns at Mass at the request of these residents. The society collected clothes which were sent various places: to a mission in Oklahoma, to a mission in South Carolina and to two Negro ministers in the South who had requested assistance. Another project of the society was sponsorship of a movie called “The Brotherhood of Man . The movie, designed to show the essential sameness of Man. no matter what his race, was shown to various school-age audiences in Dubuque. Afterwards mem¬ bers ol the society who had shown the movie then led the group in a discussion of the film and its meaning. 101
